BBC lunch Time forecast also shows potential snow on Friday too! 

Lol this is just like waiting for a bus, wait around for ages then 2 show up at once & after waiting all winter for a snow event they seem to be lining up.

Clearly getting better and better for most of us in this region (at the sad loss for the midlands, north etc).

Remains to be seen how much will accumulate, and I suspect there will be big variations, not impossible to have a 10 cm whilst 3 miles away only 1-2 cm. Seen it before.

Had a light dusting this morning, settled on rooftops and cars which was a pleasant surprise :). And dare I hope that we could get something more significant tomorrow? Really thought it would be a central and northern event! Hopefully it doesn't correct too far south!

Don't worry about us in the Midlands, sure we will get further opportunities, I would rather give the snow to SW England compared to SE England!

Mines improved a bit. More sleet icons and  lower temps than it was showing before. If it improves much further I might see a snow icon.

MetO still has you well within the firing line. Probably in the prime position actually. Looking at their graphics the Northern extent still reaches Birmingham.

Interested to see their evening update to see if they fall in line with the ECM.

Think I’ll stick with guidance from MetO over WNIXSDWFGH or whatever it’s called

I've been wondering about the lingering occlusion through Friday and whether it would remain active or not. You'd think there'd be at least a bit of frontal-type activity. Until recently few models showed more than isolated snowfall from it, but there's been a strong trend in the past 24 hours of runs toward more activity.

No agreement on how far south the boundary is or what orientation it has, though, with ICON for example going for it running west-east along a line about as far north as Bristol, ARPEGE north of there and orientated WSW-ENE, yet ECM going for a position and alignment that spans almost all of our region, or at least the southern half, while UKMO focuses activity across the east of our region.

This is mainly due to the uncertainty regarding how much a disturbance on the eastern flank of the trough develops. This being the same feature that's caused the slowdown and stall of the initial front to adjust so far south. With not one, but two key circulations involved, I expect that by the same we see any real consensus on the matter, most of us will already be too busy tracking tomorrow's snowfall!

Not that it brings any guarantee anyway. A big example of this occurred 2nd March last year - the day after the main blizzard struck. Models were keen at just 24 hours range on a further round of persistent snow affecting my locality for much of Friday, yet in reality it headed quite quickly all the way up to the Chiltern Hills and there was only about half an hour to be had here! Not that I was all that bothered at the time as I battled through more than a foot of level snow with drifts 2-3 times that. Ah, the memories! I'll treasure those for a long time, no doubt.

Is that near woodfalls as I thought that was Hampshire in the NF? 

Is hale near there or am I getting my wires crossed. 

NF is amazing place not only for snow. But it does seem colder there and often would get more snow than soton. Even Romsey could get more then drove down m271 to rain.

Don't know if you were meant to quote me but Woodfalls and Hale are within walking distance from me

Yes unlike last March when we had dry powder snow this time the flakes will be much bigger so should be good!
